Thanks for the explanation. And I'm glad that you used the same icons
for partlycloudy/mostlysunny, because they seem pretty much synonomous
to me! My personal preference would be for less toggling, for the same
reason I am not fond of websites with a lot of unnecessary animation.
But that's just my preference. I suppose one could fine tune it somewhat
and continue the toggling for chance of rain/snow/etc but not for
'chance of partlycloudy'. How many different possibilities are there for
wunderground's predicted weather conditions?

If you could change the code to respect the longest possible string
_of_the_data_field_that_is_selected_ that would help. So if someone
chooses time instead of date the font would be adjusted based on a
longest string of something like 10:59pm or 22:59, instead of a longest
string like 23 Oct, 2009.

Thanks for taking this feedback in the constructive manner in which it
is intended. And don't forget, your wife's vote counts extra! (Btw, I am
told that wives *never* mumble -- husband's just don't listen closely
enough. At least that's what I think my wife was saying the other
day...)
